Cardano was launched in September of 2017; it offers the benefits ethereum offers. It also gives a platform for smart contractors to help use ethereum much better. It aims at solving some of the most prominent problems in the crypto world, which are interoperability and scalability.
NEO was originally called AntShares by the creator Da Hongfei.
